Description

Grail Knights are the elite warriors of the Triarii. These veterans of countless battles stride into battle equipped with iconic cataphractii armour, turning an already formidable Triarii into a nigh-untouchable juggernaut.   Honoured Veterans. Triarii who distinguish themselves with decades of exemplary service or multiple acts of heroism are promoted to the Grail Knights, a position of considerable prestige and honour. Such veterans may then undergo training to fight in specialized tactical dreadnought armour, otherwise known as cataphractii armour. Those who complete their training are awarded cataphractii honours and permitted to bear the armour in battle.   Slow but Steady. Terminator armour is cumbersome and bulky, adding several feet to the space marine’s already considerable height and girth. The sheer size and weight of it hinders a space marine’s mobility, making them slower even than devastator marines. In exchange, the armour makes a terminator even more difficult to harm, and it compensates for their reduced speed with a built-in teleportation device.   Mighty Arms. The typical Grail Knight is armed with a power fist, an oversized gauntlet as large as an ordinary man’s torso. It is as powerful as it is unsubtle, able to flatten men with one blow and punch holes in stone walls. They also carry a double-barreled variant of the regular bolter known as a storm bolter, which sacrifices accuracy for rate of fire.
